Wednesday OOTD- Splurge or Steal

[Deleted]

Hey ladies, I am surprised there is not a thread yet. It's been kind of quiet here lately. I have not been participating much myself since I was on vacation and now work has been crazy.

My shirt was $10 a few years ago, does that qualify as a steal? I guess my KS anniversary sale earrings could be too? :-)



It feels like fall already here.
ETA a shot of the back, it's a zipper:


MH told me to order some more KS earrings with the Amazon cash back we had:



I also ordered this to see if it would brighten my hair up- gringachef recommended to me way back and I finally got around to ordering. Davines alchemic red shampoo and conditioner:

No steal here today. Top: Loft, jeans: Kut, flats: Coach, necklace: BR

Just ordered these for Sole Society...

It's chilly here today and I'm okay with that

I bought this during the Nordstrom anniversary sale, first time wearing it.

This was a hard challenge for me. My only splurge are probably my Frye Boots. I am a major coupon code, email sign-up, cash back points loving credit card, ebates loving shopper! This BR dress was super inexpensive but I don't remember what I paid.

[gringachef]

This is from dinner Monday night in Vegas. It's the same navy BR dress that char217 looks so amazing in today. The lighting in my hotel room was terrible though.

My steal is my $3 tee.

Since I can't PIP bc the app hates me- I have no pic to share. But part of my bday gift I got from my mom while visiting this past weekend was the UD Naked 3 pallet and a compact by UD with a bronzer, blush and highlighter- the colors are really pretty!

[callmehales]

I'm fairly certain this top cost me like $4 a few years back, off the ON clearance rack!!

[aak0517]

char217 and gringachef you both look amazing in that dress. I'm obsessed with it (I have the gray) and really want the navy but they sold out of my size. Womp womp.

@bigredgum I like the way your DH thinks!

callmehales- I really like that color on you and your makeup looks fab today!

[riffraff]

Morning!

My whole outfit cost me $5 at target

Horrible pic but this is part of my Gap steals. I got 4 tops for $15. And I'm glad that's all I paid because they are pretty much see through.

I have a doctor's appointment later, so I'm dressed, yay!
Steal: my jeans are 7FAM maternity. Originally $200, but I got them for $80-something thanks to an awesome sale and gift card.
Splurge: my new phone!

All I have to say is....Starting today, you need to email your ootd first so I NEVER have the same thing on as you on the same day! Haha! You looks so awesome! PS, when I wear that out with my husband I wear almost the exact shoes you have with it. I had to be more conservative for work!

Stop that right now! You are KILLING it in that dress. I only wish that I could look as gorg as you do (every single day)!!

char217 and gringachef, stop it, you're both smashing!
And now I need the deets on this awesome dress; though probably sold out in my size, womp womp.

[love1999]

My splurge was my Tory Burch wedges I am wearing. While I did get them 30% off, they are still the most expensive shoes I own. My steal was my KS Rae that I got on a good sale from Nordstrom.

@bigredgum I love the zipper detail on the back of the shirt!
riffraff you look AMAZING! All your hard work is really showing!
gringachef love the look. Is that the clutch you brought to our dinner? I need to go pick one up stat!
@smorriso remind me the story on the Valentino's? Love the outfit- it's like a classic top and then BAM Rockstuds. I love those flats and am so tempted to buy them for my birthday. They are so edgy yet very feminine. Excellent purchase!

I'm usually a medium but sometimes I need larger at BR because their sizing runs smaller. Does this dress run tts? I really like the navy but I'm not sure if the size will work. I guess I could always return if needed.

[riffraff]

@bigredgum I just ordered the grey!

[riffraff]

@smorriso where did you get that skirt?

My splurge is my steal. Breaking out the Valentinos today. Sorry for the late posting!

This might be one of my most favorite posts of yours! I love those shoes... I've heard a couple of people say they are hard to break in and are painful. Have you experiened any comfort issues? The black is sooooo pretty!

Also- is this the same skirt as the gray one you have? NEED! and that top is awesome too.

[aak0517]

callmehales your makeup is ON POINT today. you look gorg!

I just ordered 3 dresses, but the total only came to $75... justified, right?   I got the grey and navy (different sizes, I'll return whichever doesn't fit). I also ordered this one:

char217- disregard my question about the sizing - time will tell lol.

[callmehales]

Man y'all sure know how to make a girl feel good!!

[gringachef]

bcarp30- it is the same clutch, via Last Call. I think it was $20? I'm not seeing it online but maybe you'll have luck in store!

[bcarp30]

@smorriso that is amazing shoe luck! The shopping gods were smiling on you for sure!! They look great and the price makes them even better!
